This document takes a look at various aspects of Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs) used in embedded sensors and controller
applications such as IP Smart Objects and IP based Wireless Sensor
Networks. These devices may be interconnected via many different
types of media, including 802.15.4 (lowpans), power line control
(PLC), RS485, but the common characteristic is that the devices have
extremely limited code space and memory space for both the stack and
application. Just as there is no one single API for IP networking
stacks today (though the "Berkeley sockets" might be considered de-
facto standard) there is not likely to be a single standard in the
embedded space, but there can be some common understanding about
facilities that can and should be provided to the application
developer.
